The present embroidered Turkmen horse blanket most certainly belonged to an important figure of the tribe. On a red background, interrupted by a green stripe at the edge, the blanket is richly decorated with fine polychrome embroideries. These form a floral abstract pattern, extending over a large part of the front side. Fitting with the beautiful front, the rear is manufactured of a silk ikat.
The horse blanket shows some wear marks. The embroideries are rubbed off or missing in places. There are small holes in the cotton fabric and some small cracks in the ikat on the back. The dimensions, without fringes, are 140 x 190 cm. The fringes are 8-15 cm long.
